The Au Pair Experience

Au Pair Paris is a unique au pair program for young, smart, caring English speakers to become au pairs in Paris. Our program uses a one-on-one, personalized approach to finding you a great job with a welcoming, appropriate host family.

Au Pair Paris offers you the opportunity to take a gap year abroad while also furthering your studies and enriching your resume. A stay generally lasts from September through the beginning of July, but shorter stays are also available. We do not have a summer program.

Host families from Paris and the Parisian metropolitan area are looking to welcome au pairs into their homes. They are looking for you to share your skills and your interests and help their children learn English. In exchange, they will help you discover Paris and France and benefit from a rich international cultural experience.

Au Pair Testimonials

From French classes to connecting with two French children and exploring one of the most beautiful and remarkable cities in the world, becoming an au pair was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Wesleigh, age 26

Susan and Sylvie of Au Pair Paris run a tight ship with a close-knit group of au pairs. From the first time I contacted them about becoming an au pair, it was evident they had my best interest at heart.

Natalie, age 22

On weekdays, I took French class or visited the city's sights in the morning, and in the afternoons and evenings I cared for the children, playing with them, completing homework assignments, making their dinner, and getting them ready for bed.

Alicia, age 23

With Au Pair Paris, if I ever find myself in a rut, I always know that I have someone to count on to help me. They’re a very close-knit family, and you are bound to never feel alone or lost!

Kristen, age 20

Though I researched many options for my return to France, I kept coming back to Au Pair Paris. The idea of having both the security of family life coupled with my own independent exploration of the city and Europe was just what I was looking for.
